Overview

Event: 1960 Rallye Lyon-Charbonnières-Stuttgart-Solitude

Winning crew: Pierre Boutin and Stanislas Motte

Winning car: Porsche 356 Carrera

The event joined the established French Lyon-Charbonnières rally with competition connected to the Solitude circuit near Stuttgart. That combination gave crews a mixture of road-rally endurance and faster circuit-style running.

Route

French road sections: Required accurate navigation and consistent timing.
Cross-border travel: Added distance, logistics, and mechanical strain.
Solitude circuit: Introduced a faster and more specialized competitive setting.

The itinerary connected the Lyon and Charbonnières area with Stuttgart and the Solitude circuit. Crews therefore had to manage long road sections as well as timed competition. Exact distance and stage figures vary in surviving summaries, so unsupported mileage has been omitted.
